Knowing your future child will develop a debilitating disease during it's productive years will be valid grounds to terminate the pregnancy, regardless of ongoing trials. The question is, will they be able to find causal predictors with high enough certainty before essentially erasing a number of genes from future generations? If a gene is associated with lower intelligence, will that be because it causes lower intelligence or because it's usually carried by people living in lead-polluted areas? If a gene causes an autoimmune disease, is this because the gene causes dysregulation in the immune system or is it actually sensitizing the immune system to protect the carrier from another disease that may arise with too lax immune responses, such as cancer? These are hard questions with no answer for the majority of cases. What will end up happening is someone will throw a ML solution and claim saving lives, with no ability to repudiate the claims long-term since nobody will have children the predictor deems likely to be sick. We need to do better statistics and more sequencing, and we should leave the choice up to the parents, but this can go very wrong very fast. Nobody will blame a parent for doing an abortion when you know that the chances for something like down's syndrome are very high, but there's a very fine line to cross before we venture into designer-baby realm.
